Xinhua Finance Beijing, October 11th (analyst Wang Xinlei) Since the beginning of this year, "trade-in of consumer goods" has been an important means to promote consumption and expand domestic demand, and its popularity has remained high. The Ministry of Commerce, together with relevant departments, focused on four major categories, such as automobiles, household appliances, home improvement, kitchen and bathroom, and electric bicycles, issued a series of policy documents, deployed and guided local governments to independently carry out trade-in work, and achieved remarkable results. Since the implementation of the policy for some time, it has achieved certain results: the amount of subsidy applications has maintained a rapid growth trend, and the old-for-new policy has effectively boosted the dual growth of automobile consumption and scrapped automobile recycling; The consumer market of household appliances is gradually warming up, and the sales of household appliances are obviously improving, and the manufacturing and circulation enterprises have benefited a lot.

　　First, promote the trade-in of consumer goods, benefit enterprises and benefit the people, and achieve multiple goals.

　　The government work report in 2024 regards "expanding domestic demand and promoting a virtuous circle of economy" as one of the top ten tasks of government work in 2024, including stabilizing and expanding traditional consumption, and "encouraging and promoting trade-in of consumer goods" is one of the ways to promote stable consumption growth. The core reason why the trade-in of consumer goods can drive consumption is to reduce the purchase cost of consumers, stimulate their desire to buy and promote the sales of new products through the recycling of old goods and discounts. Vigorously promoting the trade-in of consumer goods is a major policy that benefits enterprises and benefits the people, and it is also an important measure to further implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand.

　　With the deepening of high-quality development, the demand for equipment renewal is expanding. Promoting large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods has three main functions: first, it can ensure the safety of production and living equipment. After all, a considerable number of products have a long service life, high energy consumption and hidden dangers in quality and safety; The second is to promote consumption while stimulating investment, promote the continuous increase of the proportion of advanced production capacity, increase advanced production capacity and improve production efficiency; The third is to promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, waste recycling, and circular economy leads industrial innovation and sustainable development.

　　Second, the policy is overweight to promote the trade-in of consumer goods, taking into account both economic and environmental benefits.

　　Since the beginning of this year, in accordance with the relevant decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on strengthening support for trade-in of consumer goods, the Ministry of Commerce, together with relevant departments, has focused on four major categories, including automobiles, household appliances, home improvement kitchens and bathrooms, and electric bicycles, issued a series of policy documents, and deployed and guided all localities to independently carry out trade-in work.

　　In March 2024, the Ministry of Commerce and other 14 departments jointly issued the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods, which stimulated the consumption potential and boosted the confidence of economic development by promoting the exchange of "energy" for automobiles, "intelligence" for home appliances and "rejuvenation" for home improvement and kitchen and bathroom. Focusing on the three major areas of automobiles, home appliances and home improvement kitchen and bathroom to boost consumption is because the market complex is large and the driving effect is strong. Trade-in of products in these three areas is used to boost consumption because a considerable number of products have long service life, high energy consumption emissions, hidden dangers in quality and safety, and great potential for trade-in and upgrading. It has been nearly 15 years since the last round of promoting the trade-in of consumer goods nationwide, and the demand for renewal has entered a concentrated release period. The promotion of trade-in in the three fields of automobiles, household appliances and home improvement kitchen and bathroom has its own characteristics: the trade-in action of automobiles is the trade-in of the whole chain of automobile consumer goods, covering all aspects of automobile life cycle such as new cars, used cars, scrapped cars and automobile aftermarket; The promotion of household appliances trade-in focuses on improving the recycling system of used household appliances and smoothing the consumption cycle of household appliances renewal; The promotion of "rejuvenation" of home improvement kitchen and bathroom is to expand the renovation of stock houses as the starting point, and to promote the replacement of home improvement kitchen and bathroom consumer goods.

　　In April, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and other seven departments jointly issued the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Vehicle Trade-in Subsidies, which made arrangements for the scope standard, subsidy declaration, review and issuance, subsidy fund management and supervision of vehicle trade-in subsidies. In terms of subsidy scope standards, two types of used cars specified for scrapping are purchased together.Passenger cars, subsidies of 10 thousand yuan; For scrapping fuel passenger cars with national emission standards of Grade III and below and buying fuel passenger cars with a displacement of 2.0 liters and below, the subsidy is 7,000 yuan. In the management of subsidy funds, the subsidy funds for automobile trade-in are shared by the central finance and local finance in the overall ratio of 6: 4, and the sharing ratio is determined by regions. The proportion of local finance in eastern provinces is higher than that in central and western provinces. The Ministry of Finance pre-allocates 70% subsidy funds to the provinces to support local governments to start related work. After the implementation period of the policy, the central and local governments will conduct liquidation according to the principle of "more refunds and less subsidies". In terms of supervision, local commercial authorities are responsible for supervising the audit of subsidy funds, and local financial departments are responsible for supervising the allocation of subsidy funds.

　　In July, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued "Several Measures on Strengthening Support for Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods" (hereinafter referred to as "Measures"), which clearly defined that efforts should be made to support trade-in of consumer goods. In terms of financial support, the ultra-long-term special national debt funds are arranged to support local governments to independently improve the trade-in ability of consumer goods. On the basis of "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Vehicle Trade-in Subsidies", the subsidy standard for scrapping and updating automobiles will be raised to 20,000 yuan for purchasing passenger cars and 15,000 yuan for purchasing fuel passenger cars with a displacement of 2.0 liters or less, and "real money and silver" will promote automobile trade-in. The "Measures" clearly stipulates the subsidy for trade-in of household appliances: 8 types of household appliances such as refrigerators with energy efficiency or water efficiency standards of Grade 2 or above are given trade-in subsidies, and the subsidy standard is 15% of the product sales price; For products with energy efficiency or water efficiency standards of Grade 1 or above, an additional subsidy of 5% of the product sales price will be given.

　　Regarding the "Improving the recycling system of used household appliances and smoothing the consumption cycle of household appliances renewal" highlighted in the Action Plan for Promoting Trade-in of Consumer Goods, the Measures clearly stipulate that the recycling of used electrical and electronic products will continue to be supported by the way of "rewarding instead of supplementing". According to the Measures for the Administration of Special Funds for the Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in September, special funds are allocated according to four weighted factors, namely, the standardized disposal capacity of waste electrical and electronic products in the previous year in relevant provinces, the investment in local solid waste pollution prevention and control, the actual number of household appliances owned by residents, and the actual operating load rate of waste electrical and electronic products. The continuous policy combines "boosting consumption by promoting the trade-in of household appliances" with "promoting the recycling of waste materials" to jointly improve economic and environmental benefits.

　　In addition to cars, home appliances, home improvement and kitchen and bathroom, electric bicycles "join" and "trade-in of consumer goods". In August, the Ministry of Commerce and other five departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Trade-in of Electric Bicycles", and returned the old electric bicycles under the personal name and exchanged them for new electric bicycles, as well as the old lithium-ion batteries.Consumers who buy electric bicycles in exchange for lead-acid storage electric bicycles will be subsidized, and consumers will be subsidized to return electric bicycles and storage with high security risks. The policy reduces the cost of consumers’ purchase through subsidies, boosts consumption and promotes the recycling of waste materials, while also working to eliminate potential safety hazards and improve the safety level of electric bicycles. One thing in common with the trade-in policy of household appliances and electric bicycles is to promote the sustainable development of the industry through green consumption.

　　Third, the trade-in policy has significantly boosted the growth of the automobile and household appliances consumption market.

　　Under the guidance of the trade-in policy formulated by the Ministry of Commerce in conjunction with relevant departments, various localities have launched trade-in actions for consumer goods. On September 25th, the National Development and Reform Commission held the third news conference of the "two new" policies series. When introducing the progress and typical practices of the trade-in of consumer goods, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that the 150 billion yuan extra-long special national debt funds supporting the trade-in of consumer goods had all reached the local level at the beginning of August, and the policy has achieved certain results since it was implemented for a period of time: the amount of subsidy applications has maintained a rapid growth trend, and the trade-in policy has effectively boosted the double growth of automobile consumption and scrapped automobile recycling; The consumer market of household appliances is gradually warming up, and the sales of household appliances are obviously improving, and the manufacturing and circulation enterprises have benefited a lot.

　　The old-for-new policy has boosted the obvious growth of automobile consumption. Geng Hongzhou, a first-class inspector of the Consumer Promotion Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that as of 0: 00 on September 25th, the national automobile trade-in information platform had received more than 1.13 million applications for automobile scrapping and renewal subsidies, and the number of registered users of the platform exceeded 1.68 million, and the amount of subsidy applications maintained a rapid growth trend.

　　Since August, the sales volume of the national passenger car market has increased significantly, and the development of the automobile market has accelerated. According to the data of china automobile dealers association, the national retail sales of passenger cars in August was 1.905 million, an increase of 185,000 compared with 1.72 million in July, an increase of 10.8% from the previous month. The retail volume of new energy vehicles was 1.027 million, an increase of 149,000 compared with the retail volume of new energy vehicles of 878,000 in July, an increase of 17% from the previous month. The penetration rate of new energy vehicles reached 53.9% in August, 50.8% in July, and exceeded 50% for two consecutive months. After September, the data continues to grow. From September 1 to 22, the national retail sales of passenger cars increased by 10% compared with the same period in August; The retail sales of new energy passenger cars increased by 7% compared with the same period in August. During the National Day, the Ministry of Commerce received more than 1.27 million subsidy applications for the automobile trade-in platform, driving the sales of new cars to exceed 160 billion yuan. In the scrap recycling market, according to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, in May, June, July and August since the implementation of the scrap renewal subsidy policy, the national scrap car recycling volume increased by 55.6%, 72.9%, 93.7% and 73.8% respectively.

　　All localities have actively implemented the old-for-new policy of household appliances, the consumer market of household appliances has gradually warmed up, and the sales of household appliances have obviously improved. From the statistical data, driven by the trade-in policy of consumer goods, the retail sales of household appliances and audio-visual equipment decreased from 2.4% in July to 3.4% in August, among which the retail sales of energy-efficient household appliances achieved double-digit growth. From the tax data, since the release of the Action Plan to Promote Trade-in of Consumer Goods, the VAT invoice data of the State Administration of Taxation shows that from April to August, the retail sales revenue of household appliances such as refrigerators and televisions and other household audio-visual equipment increased by 2.4% and 5% respectively. Judging from the monitoring data of business operation, the home appliance market performed well during the "Eleventh" Golden Week. Ministry of commerceMonitoring shows that during the National Day, 8.238 million consumers bought a total of 11.78 million household appliances in eight categories, driving sales to exceed 55.7 billion yuan. Generally speaking, since the implementation of the trade-in policy this year, the traditional consumer market of household appliances has shown new vitality and vitality, and manufacturing enterprises and circulation enterprises have benefited a lot.

△ Video: "Challenge Impossible"

CCTV News:Today is "119" Fire Day, and some people call fire fighters "retrograde heroes", because whenever there is a crisis, all people are retreating backwards, and only fire officers and soldiers are going retrograde. Touched by the spirit of courage to take responsibility and dedication for these lovely people, their superb skills are also impressive and admirable.

No, recently, an armed police fire fighter in Gansu province showed his exquisite skill of blindly cutting steel wires on light bulbs with a toothless saw in the inspirational program "Challenge Impossible".

Fire fighters blindly cut steel wire bulbs on the bulbs without any damage.

The soldier’s name is Li Haifeng, and his challenge is to blindly cut the steel wire fixed above the light bulb through a thick steel plate with a toothless saw.

△ Toothless saw

The distance between the steel wire and the bulb is only 0.01 mm.

After 45 seconds, the steel wire broke with a bang, and Li Haifeng quickly received the force, and the light bulb was not damaged at all.

In the end, Li Haifeng challenged successfully and won applause and exclamations at the scene. Of course, such skills are not limited to stage performances, but are more used in Li Haifeng’s rescue work.

For example, once, a 16-year-old boy couldn’t get the ring off his hand. After trying to cut the ring with tools such as steel bar breaker, pliers and saw, Li Haifeng decided to use a toothless saw.

He wrapped the boy’s hand with a towel in order to prevent the sparks from cutting from hurting his skin. During the cutting process, he kept watering the boy’s hands to cool down because of the fever.

In the end, Li Haifeng sawed off the ring with a toothless saw and successfully saved the boy’s finger.

After 17 years of practice, I have developed an extraordinary stunt.

When Li Haifeng challenged to cut the steel wire, he relied on hearing and touch. He said, "The right ear captures the sound of the engine, and the left ear distinguishes the friction of the grinding wheel." The summary of a short sentence embodies the sweat and hardships of 17 years.

In 1999, 19-year-old Li Haifeng joined the army from Hebei and became a fire fighter of Gansu Baiyin Fire Brigade. A few years before joining the army, Li Haifeng has been the squad leader of the rescue class, specializing in demolition technology. In 2010, he began to try to cut the steel wire on the light bulb with a toothless saw. From the initial watching to the later blindfolded cutting, Li Haifeng exchanged three years of tenacity and sweat for the unique skills in the country today.

"In three years, I chopped up more than 1,000 light bulbs." Li Haifeng said that from the initial lack of confidence and the discouragement of countless failures, he experienced painful hardships again and again. "Now, I have formed a deep feeling with the light bulb."

Facing the test of life and death, be a pioneer in emergency rescue again and again.

Since joining the army at the end of 1999, this military uniform has given Li Haifeng a strong sense of mission. At the age of 36, he rescued 188 people in distress, protected tens of millions of materials and property, and won many honors. He is currently the deputy director of the training department of Gansu Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade, and his injuries are as many as the awards he won.

Over-training and accidents in many rescue accidents, Li Haifeng suffered six fractures, numerous minor injuries, severe varicose veins in both legs, and unbearable pain at the fracture site every cloudy day. And he said: "There will be a lot of aerial work in fire fighting and rescue, and there will be many accidents in emergency rescue, which will inevitably lead to sprains and bruises, which is normal."

△ Li Haifeng blindly cut the steel wire fixed above the bulb through a thick steel plate with a toothless saw.

Now I have a skill, but I was afraid at the beginning. Li Haifeng recalled that in 2000, not long after he joined the army, he once performed a extinguishing task, and the squad leader asked Li Haifeng to set up the gas tank. "After the rescue of personnel was completed, in the face of the explosion of liquefied gas at any time, at the moment when all firefighters were ready to evacuate, the captain asked me to help the liquefied gas tank immediately. To be honest, I hesitated for a moment, because I was really scared. The liquefied gas tank was still breathing fire and could explode at any time. " Despite his inner fear, Li Haifeng did it at once. Just turning 20, he felt as if he had passed by death.

△ Li Haifeng participated in the second season of "Challenge Impossible".

I have participated in various rescues for more than 3,000 times in 17 years, but the more I have seen life and death, the deeper I feel awe. "I remember a multi-person car accident in Baiyin No.1 Road in 2013. When we rescued one of the ladies, she had no signs of life. At that time, her son kept crying, and her husband immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing to us and begged us to save her. At that time, I felt my heart was bleeding, and I really felt very ‘ Incompetence ’ . Life is particularly fragile, and all fame and fortune are not important in front of life. "

This job also gives Li Haifeng few opportunities to reunite with his family. Li Haifeng’s wife said in the program, "Although we get together less and leave more, the day we marry Li Haifeng, we are ready for all the psychological preparations we need to bear as a military spouse." A simple sentence made the host Dong Qing and many viewers shed tears on the spot.

Li Haifeng’s soul-shaking skill display is precisely because of his deep sense of responsibility and mission. He explained the word "hero" in peacetime with the most practical actions.

According to the website of the Emergency Management Department, the Emergency Management Department released the basic situation of natural disasters in 2022 on the 13th. In the whole year, 112 million people were affected by various natural disasters, 554 people died and disappeared due to disasters, and 2.428 million people were resettled. 47,000 houses collapsed and 796,000 houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 12,071.6 thousand hectares; The direct economic loss was 238.65 billion yuan. Compared with the average in recent five years, the number of people who died and disappeared, the number of houses collapsed and the direct economic losses decreased by 30.8%, 63.3% and 25.3% respectively.

According to reports, the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Health and Wellness Commission, the Statistics Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, the Forestry and Grass Bureau, the China Red Cross Society, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. and other departments and units, approved that in 2022, China’s natural disasters will be dominated by floods, droughts, windstorms, earthquakes and geological disasters.

Affected by extreme weather, major disasters occurred, such as floods in the Pearl River basin, breaches of the Raoyang River, a tributary of the Liaohe River, flash floods in Datong, Qinghai, Pingwu and Beichuan in Sichuan, droughts in summer, autumn and winter in the Yangtze River basin, and forest fires in southern China. The Luding 6.8 earthquake in Sichuan caused heavy casualties. The Emergency Management Department strengthened overall coordination, made every effort to do a good job in emergency rescue and disaster relief, and minimized casualties and property losses.

The main features of national natural disasters in 2022 are:

First, the distribution of natural disasters in China is uneven in time and space, with frequent occurrences in summer and autumn and severe disasters in the central and western regions.

From January to April, the disaster situation was generally stable and light, except for the 6.9 earthquake in Menyuan, Qinghai Province on January 8 and the freezing rain and snow disaster in some parts of southern China in February. After entering summer and autumn, severe rainstorm and flood disasters occurred in South China, Jiangnan and Liaohe River Basin, rare drought in summer and autumn and winter in Yangtze River Basin, local mountain torrents and mudslides in Sichuan, Heilongjiang, Gansu and Qinghai, as well as major disasters such as Lushan 6.1 earthquake in Sichuan, Marcand 6.0 earthquake swarm and Luding 6.8 earthquake. During the period from long summer to beginning of winter, the number of deaths, disappearances and direct economic losses caused by various natural disasters accounted for 92% and 91% of the total annual losses respectively. There are 10 provinces with direct economic losses of over 10 billion yuan due to disasters throughout the year.

Second, the flood disaster is "heavy in the north and south, light in the middle", and local mountain torrents frequently recur.

In 2022, there were 38 regional rainstorm processes in China, with an average precipitation of 606.1 mm, 5% less than normal. Floods exceeding the warning level occurred in 626 rivers in 28 provinces across the country, and there were 10 numbered floods in large rivers. Among them, the Pearl River Basin formed two consecutive large floods, and the Beijiang River experienced the biggest flood since 1915. The biggest flood occurred in Liaohe since 1995; The flood situation of the Yellow River, Huaihe River and Haihe River is generally stable. South China has experienced nine regional rainstorm processes in the first flood season, and the precipitation in the Pearl River Basin is the highest in the same period since 1961, resulting in large basin floods. In July and August, serious floods occurred in Liaohe River Basin. Sudden flash floods in Sichuan, Qinghai and other places caused heavy casualties. In the whole year, 33.853 million people were affected by floods, 171 people died and disappeared due to disasters, and the direct economic loss was 128.9 billion yuan. In addition, there are 5,659 geological disasters such as landslides, collapses and mudslides in China, mainly small and medium-sized, mainly concentrated in Central South, South China and Southwest China.

Three, the Yangtze River Basin has a rare history of continuous drought in summer, autumn and winter, which has a wide range of influences and heavy losses.

In 2022, affected by the strong subtropical high and La Ni? a phenomenon, the average temperature in China was high, and there were successive droughts in winter and spring in the Pearl River basin at the beginning of the year, in spring and summer in Huanghuaihai and Northwest China from April to June, and in summer, autumn and winter in the Yangtze River basin. Among them, the drought in the Yangtze River basin is the most serious meteorological and hydrological drought since the complete measured data are available, and the number of days above the moderate drought is 77 days, 54 days more than the normal period, which is the highest in the historical period since 1961. At the peak of the drought, 52.452 million people were affected, 7.585 million people needed life assistance due to the drought, the affected area of crops was 60.902 thousand hectares, and the direct economic loss was 51.28 billion yuan.

Fourth, the temporal and spatial distribution of forest and grassland fires is relatively concentrated.

In 2022, there were 709 forest fires in China, with an area of 4,689.5 hectares of forest affected and 17 people killed. In terms of time distribution, March-April and September-October are the high incidence periods of forest fires, with 521 cases, accounting for 74% of the whole year. In terms of spatial distribution, affected by factors such as high temperature and drought, there were 503 forest fires in six provinces of Hunan, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hubei, Guangdong and Chongqing, accounting for 71% of the country. There were 21 grassland fires in China, including 16 in Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, accounting for 76% of the country.

Five, the strong convective weather process is less, the wind and hail disasters are lighter, and the lightning strike events are relatively prominent.

In 2022, there were 37 regional strong convective weather processes in China, the number of which was less than the average in recent years. From the time point of view, it is mainly concentrated in summer, and the number of deaths and missing persons and direct economic losses caused by strong convective weather account for 73% and 69% of the annual losses caused by wind and hail disasters respectively. Regionally, it is mainly distributed in North China, Northwest China and Southwest China. There are many casualties caused by lightning strikes in Qinghai and Sichuan. On the whole, the wind and hail disasters in 2022 were lighter than normal, causing 9.306 million people to be affected, 88 people died and the direct economic loss was 16.67 billion yuan.

Six, moderate and strong earthquakes in the western region are more active, and the loss of earthquake disasters is biased.

In 2022, there were 27 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in mainland China, which increased on average compared with previous years, mainly concentrated in western areas such as Qinghai, Sichuan and Xinjiang. The earthquake with the highest magnitude in the whole year was the Menyuan M6.9 earthquake in Qinghai on January 8, and the earthquake with the heaviest loss was the Luding M6.8 earthquake in Sichuan on September 5. In 2022, the earthquake disaster losses were heavier than normal, resulting in a total of 940,000 people affected, 122 people died and disappeared due to the disaster, and the direct economic loss was 22.45 billion yuan.

Seven, the number of typhoons landing is small, and the landing sites are relatively concentrated.

In 2022, there were 25 typhoons in the Pacific Northwest and the South China Sea, which was basically the same as normal, and four of them landed in China, which was less than normal. On July 2nd, Typhoon No.3 "Siam Ba" landed on the coast of Dianbai, Guangdong, becoming the first typhoon to land. Three of the four landfall typhoons landed in Guangdong, and the 12th typhoon "Meihua" landed four times in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, Fengxian, Shanghai, Qingdao, Shandong and Dalian, Liaoning, which was the first typhoon to land in different parts of mainland China for four times since 1949. The direct economic loss caused by typhoon disaster in 2022 was 5.42 billion yuan, which was lighter than normal.

8. Low temperature rain, snow and freezing affect the southwest and central and southern regions, and the local snowstorm in Xinjiang is serious.

In 2022, China was affected by 35 cold air processes, 5.9 times more than normal. In February, the average temperature in the south was the lowest in the same period since 2009. The southwest and central and southern regions were seriously affected by the low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters, and the direct economic losses accounted for 80% of the annual losses caused by the low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters. From November 26th to December 1st, the strongest cold wave weather since winter brought severe cooling, strong winds and dust, rain and snow to most parts of the country, and extreme snowstorms in Altay and Tacheng areas of Xinjiang caused casualties. In 2022, low-temperature freezing and snowstorm caused a total of 870.7 thousand hectares of crops to be affected, and the direct economic loss was 12.45 billion yuan.

　　Along this "only way", our party leads the people to make the tide of reform and opening up play an exciting movement in the land of China with indomitable enterprising spirit and magnificent innovative practice.

　　Keep the spirit of "breaking through", "creating" and "doing" style, adhere to the correct direction of reform and opening up, deepen reform and stimulate new development vitality, and expand opening up and promote reform and development.

　　From January to April, 14,533 foreign-invested enterprises were newly established nationwide, up 50.2% year-on-year and 11.5% over the same period in 2019; The actual amount of foreign capital used was 397.07 billion yuan, up 38.6% year-on-year, up 30.1% compared with the same period in 30.1%… … Not long ago, the Ministry of Commerce announced the situation of absorbing foreign capital in the first four months of this year. The data rising against the trend is constantly improving, which highlights the unique charm of China market and reflects the positive results of China’s continuous deepening of reform and opening up and continuous optimization of business environment.

　　Without reform and opening up, there would be no China today, and there would be no China tomorrow. In December, 2012, the Supreme Leader made his first visit to the local area after becoming the general secretary, and then came to Guangdong, which was "the first in China’s reform and opening up", and issued the call of "reform will not stop and opening up will not stop". Six years later, at the important historical node of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader went to Guangdong to inspect again, and solemnly declared that "China will surely have new and greater miracles that will impress the world". Along this "only way", our party leads the people to make the tide of reform and opening up play an exciting movement in the land of China with indomitable enterprising spirit and magnificent innovative practice. Reform and opening up has become the most distinctive feature of contemporary China and the most distinctive character of contemporary the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.

　　How magnificent the historical process is, how extensive and far-reaching its influence is. In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China gave a resounding answer to the question of "Where is socialist China going?", which started the great journey of reform and opening up. For more than 40 years, from "what you can eat" to "what you can eat", from "buying by ticket" to "buying all over the world", through reform and opening up, we have made this country "the economy is on the verge of collapse and people’s food and clothing are a problem" jump to the second largest economy in the world; For more than 40 years, from "catching up with the times" to "leading the times", we have relied on reform and opening up to "fight our way out", so that this nation, which has been committed to great rejuvenation since modern times, has taken decisive steps on the journey of becoming rich and strong. For this reason, the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary called the promotion of reform and opening up and the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the establishment of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the establishment of People’s Republic of China (PRC), the three major historical events in China since the May 4th Movement, and listed them as the three major milestones in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in modern times.

　　Reform and opening-up is only carried out when it is not completed. If we say that the reform of that year was an "incremental reform", most people can benefit from it; Then, when the reform enters the critical period and deep water area, more interests will be enhanced and adjusted. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The easy and happy reform has been completed, all the delicious meat has been eaten, and the rest are hard bones." Hit the water in the middle stream, and those who are eager to advance; When people get halfway up the mountain, only the brave win. From bringing comprehensive deepening reform into the "four comprehensive" strategic layout to proposing that "the overall goal of comprehensive deepening reform is to improve and develop the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity"; From deepening the reform of the economic system around "making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation and giving better play to the role of the government" to emphasizing that "all major reforms must be based on the law"; From the establishment of a free trade pilot zone to the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative … … The Communist Party of China (CPC) people in the new era hold high the great banner of reform and opening up, and have made great achievements in comprehensively deepening reform.

　　The reform and opening up has gone through thousands of waters in Qian Shan, but it still needs to cross mountains and rivers. Looking back at the centenary of the founding of the Party, we can better understand the truth that a country and a nation must advance in the logic of historical progress and develop in the trend of the times if they want to revitalize. Nowadays, there are still many complicated contradictions and problems on the road of reform. We have gnawed many hard bones but there are still many hard bones to gnaw at. We have overcome many difficulties but there are still many difficulties to overcome. At present, the century-old changes and the century-old epidemic are intertwined, the world has entered a period of turbulent change, and the instability and uncertainty have increased significantly. We will face more external environments that are against the wind and the current. At this time, we should maintain the spirit of "breaking through", "creating" and "doing" style, adhere to the correct direction of reform and opening up, deepen reform to stimulate new development vitality, and expand opening up to promote reform and development.

　　Only by standing on the peaks of history can we have a clearer insight into the times and grasp the direction of progress more accurately. Today, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we need reform and opening up to bring surging momentum more than at any time in history. We are duty-bound to carry out the reform and opening up to the end, strive to write more "spring stories" and strive to create new and greater miracles that will impress the world.

[Observer Network Comprehensive Report] On the eve of the SCO Qingdao Summit, China and Russia recently signed the largest nuclear power cooperation project to date, with a total contract value exceeding 20 billion yuan and a total project cost exceeding 100 billion yuan.

Among them, some units originally scheduled to use American technology have now switched to Russian technology, which has surprised the industry.

According to the news released by CNNC on the 8th, CNNC and Russian National Atomic Energy Group signed the Framework Contract for Unit 7/8 of Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, the Framework Contract for Xudabao Nuclear Power Plant and the Framework Contract for Equipment Supply and Service Procurement of China Demonstration Fast Reactor in the Great Hall of the People, witnessed by the Supreme Leader of president, China and Russian President Putin.

This is by far the largest nuclear energy cooperation project between China and Russia. The total amount of the above-mentioned package contracts exceeds 20 billion yuan, and the total project cost exceeds 100 billion yuan.

20 billion nuclear bills, this move by Russia surprised the industry.

These three contracts correspond to three projects, including five nuclear power units. Among them, Xudabao Nuclear Power Station is located in Huludao City, Liaoning Province, and is developed by China National Nuclear Corporation Liaoning Nuclear Power Company, which is controlled by China National Nuclear Corporation. The plan has not yet started, and it is planned to build six million kilowatt nuclear power units.

The first phase of the Xudabao nuclear power plant has two units.Previously, it was decided to adopt AP1000 technology designed by Westinghouse.The world’s first AP1000 nuclear power unit is currently located in Sanmen Nuclear Power Project, Zhejiang Province, and is also purchased from Westinghouse. Caijing magazine quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the main equipment needed for the first phase of Xudabao Nuclear Power Station had already been ordered. According to the convention, the same technical route is generally adopted at the same site, so all six units of Xudabao Nuclear Power Station will adopt AP1000 technology.

But according to this contract,Tianwan and XudaFort cooperation project will adoptfourTaiwan and RussiaVVER-1200Type iii nuclear power unit.China and Russia will cooperate in equipment supply and technical services in the demonstration fast reactor project in China.

In this regard, Caijing reporters learned from many sources that the AP1000 technology will not be changed for two units in the original phase I project, and the new VVER units will be applied to units 3 and 4 in the second phase of Xudabao.This also means that Russia was able to grab the original target market of Westinghouse.Some insiders also told Caijing that the possibility of starting the second phase of Xudabao before the first phase of the project is not ruled out, and it is even very likely that this arrangement will be made.

In addition to the Xudabao nuclear power plant mentioned in the contract, Tianwan nuclear power plant is located in Lianyun District, Lianyungang City, and eight million kilowatt pressurized water reactor nuclear power units are planned to be built at the site. Russian AES-91 nuclear power units are used in the first phase project No.1 and No.2 and the second phase project No.3 and No.4, which are high-tech cooperation in the field of nuclear energy under the promotion of deepening political mutual trust, developing economy and trade and strengthening international strategic cooperation between China and Russia, and are the landmark projects of Sino-Russian nuclear energy cooperation. The construction of Unit 5 was officially started in December 2015, which became the final work of newly-built nuclear power units in China during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period.

Finally, the fast reactor project refers to the demonstration project of Xiapu fast reactor in Fujian. The so-called "fast reactor" is the abbreviation of "fast neutron reactor". Fast reactor nuclear power technology is called the main reactor type of the fourth generation advanced nuclear energy system. It can increase the utilization rate of natural uranium resources from about 1% to over 60% at present, and minimize radioactive waste, which can solve the problems of depleted uranium resources, low utilization rate of nuclear materials and difficult disposal of nuclear waste in one fell swoop.

On December 29, 2017, CNNC announced in Xiapu County, Fujian Province that the civil construction drawing of the demonstration fast reactor project was from CNNC.
